Mario Mushroom Is Yet Another Lame Attempt to Disguise a Vibrator

Jesus Diaz — Tue, 18 Nov 2008 22:20:00 EST

For some reason I can't seem to grasp, Japanese people seem to be obsessed with vibrating objects that are not actual vibrators. OK, I lied, I can understand it perfectly. Specially when they try to pass them as soft Super Mario mushrooms. Then I don't only understand the obsession, but I actually want to have one. In fact, buy two dozens and make a vibrating mushroom bed sticking them together. For $26, you can use them as mini-seats and chair cushions, provided you don't weigh more than 176 pounds.

"First" iPhone 3G Owner Says It's a Survival Bet, Gets Chinese Masseuse

Apparently life in New Zealand must be really tough, with all those orcs, goblins, and trolls trying to cut your head off, and steal your powerful jewelry. That's what it seems from listening to this radio interview with the man who may be the first guy on Earth to buy an iPhone 3G: according to him, the whole getting an iPhone 3G thing is a result of a bet with his friends about surviving for three days in the streets of Auckland with no more help than the Yellow Pages. Hint for other iPhone 3G campers around the world: call a Chinese masseuse and ask for the special. [Thanks Brett — I'm not joking, the name of the tipster is Brett]

After a long day working in the mines, there's nothing quite like coming home and inflating the ol' leg massager around my tired gams. It's like getting my blood pressure checked, but on my legs! Apparently that's considered a massage. Are you not impressed?! –Adam Frucci

I can't find the words to properly express how strange of an invention this is. It is a device that attaches to the top of a Starbucks cup and will give facial steam massages ... with the steam from the coffee. Seriously, what the hell. – Travis Hudson
